Shelly and others, I think North American Colonies would be the best description. Historically speaking, to refer to the area as British North America especially in 1666 would not be correct as the French and Spanish also had a large presence. King Philips war, also known as the French and Indian war, occurred about ten years later. If memory serves me correctly, another list member used "Colonial America" in a message months ago. That would also be another good option.
Hope this helps.

I don't know if this is correct or not, I have always used BNA for Britsh North America and when the Colonies won their independence I then enter the location as USA.
